Sean “Diddy” Combs was transferred from a federal prison in New Jersey to a low-security facility in Pennsylvania after he suffered a head injury during an alleged fight with another inmate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Citing the Bureau of Prisons, TMZ<\/a> on Friday reported that Combs, 56, was moved from FCI Fort Dix to FCI Allenwood Low. <\/p>\n

While the media outlet said the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) confirmed the transfer, the agency did not explain the decision, as it does not discuss conditions of confinement or reasons for transfers due to privacy, safety, and security concerns.<\/p>\n

“Decisions about inmate placement are made by the BOP, and we are not in a position to speak to the circumstances surrounding this transfer,” Combs’ spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, said. “Sean remains focused on moving forward, and we hope that his time at the new facility will be productive and without unnecessary disruption.”<\/p>\n

The transfer follows reports that Combs was taken to a hospital after sustaining a head injury at Fort Dix. TMZ<\/a> reported he was hurt in an fight with another inmate, Christopher “Dudus” Coke<\/a>, who is a convicted Jamaican drug trafficker. Coke was placed in solitary confinement afterward, the media outlet reported.<\/p>\n

The BOP has disputed that account, calling reports of a fight false according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Combs is serving a 50-month federal prison sentence after a jury convicted him in 2025 on two counts of transporting people across state lines for prostitution. He was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex-trafficking charges.<\/p>\n

Reports in recent weeks have also alleged that Combs possessed contraband at Fort Dix and received special treatment from other inmates. The claims have not been detailed by the BOP, which has declined to discuss his custody conditions.<\/p>\n

A projected release date listed in recent reports is March 2, 2028. <\/p>\n

Combs is appealing his conviction and sentence.<\/p>\n
